It was one hour before dawn when Theodore's ultra luxurious car reached his newly built ultra luxurious lake mansion.

After the wedding, he went to say hi to a certain acquaintance, and they ended up spending the night together with her! Although this was a little unfair to Elena and Luna, he was a man of many ‘responsibilities’… He would make it up for them later.

His phone suddenly rang. It was her.

“Hi… Did you miss me already?” he answered with a perverted smile that no one in his family was allowed to see.

“Oh…And?” he frowned as he listened.

“She did WHAT?” Theodore yelled at the phone and then listened for a few more minutes as the other side explained.

“I understand… Don’t worry, I will fix it. And I will also let my men search for Harold…” he added as he hung up and then looked at George who parked the car near the mansion.

“George… I will have to trouble you, that stupid girl of mine, Lea, got in trouble again.” Theodore sighed.

“I understand… Was she arrested for assaulting Prince Archie?”

“YES! How did you know?” Theodore asked in surprise.

“At the wedding… Victor fixed those two together, then made one of his maids slip something in Archie’s drink.”

“WHAT?” Theodore asked, he was so preoccupied with the wedding that he noticed nothing. His stupid son was juggling too many balls that he lost track of things... He intended to ask Victor about what exactly happened a week later when he planned to go give him the family gifts.

“Yes… Lady Lea had been after young master Victor lately, so he must have wanted to dump her on someone else.”

“Oh… Could it be that Victor knows the truth?”

“I wouldn’t exclude that possibility!”

“Indeed… That kid hides too deep!”

“He is your son after all!” George said, turning his eyes.

“True… “ Theodore nodded and smiled to himself. “Well, Lea sent samples of hers and Archi’s blood to the lab accusing him of drugging her, but the results came back that only Archie was drugged… “

“Did Archie file the complaint?” George asked with a frown as he stepped down and then went to open the door for his master.

“No… It was his fiancee, some random bitch… Some new aspiring lieutenant at the station decided to take this seriously because of Archie’s position as the crown prince!” Theodore explained.

“Master… If I may say so. That’s why I told you not to drug Harold… If he was not in a deep sleep right now he would have fixed this by himself easily…!” George said as he carefully helped his master step down from the car.

“... Whatever… ” Theodore said as he adjusted his suit. He was not comfortable discussing his fetishes with George who had the habit of ruining his fun ever since they were young.

“I will see to it that Lea is released… Is there anything else master?” George asked.

“No… You go fix Lea’s problem then get some sleep… It has been a tough week.”

“What about Harold? Didn’t Nicole ask you to find him for her?”

“He will wake up and find his way home on his own… ” Theodore said with annoyance. If Nicole didn't care for that guy, he would have slit his throat ages ago. That woman was as stubborn and unreasonable as her daughter!

“I understand!” George said, shaking his head as he got into the car and then drove it away, heading toward the police station

Theodore sighed then headed toward the mansion’s door while thinking about how to lie to his wives… Suddenly he stopped and looked toward the lake. There on its side, two little girls were practicing martial arts.

Lara and her loli maid El.

Theodore, not wanting to disturb his daughter, carefully hid behind a tree and watched for a few minutes as Lara performed the family art’s ninth maneuver and as the loli beside her failed to cope and collapsed to the ground.

It was perfect…. No more than perfect.

When did she get this good? Theodore wondered.

It seemed like Victor not only helped Lara upgrade her bloodline but also fixed her martial arts.

Sending her to live with him was not a bad decision! That kid must have been training secretly all these years!

Not bad at all…

Wait…

Why was she still continuing? Wasn’t the maneuver supposed to end after the 12th movement?

13… 14…….24…..36… It ended with a bang as Lara used her delicate palm to hit a nearby tree… The tree shook, then split in half moments later.

WTF!

Theodore was shocked. So was Lara who quickly looked to the sides, making sure that no one was watching her before she dragged the exhausted El away.

Did Lara become a player? How else can a little girl break a tree just like that?

If not, could it be that Victor found something in the ancestor's diary and taught it to her?

Yes! That's probably it!

Theodore really wanted to run to his daughter and asked her what the hell was that, but thinking of his image, he decided to summon her to his office and question her thoroughly after breakfast.

…

“What is this?” Lily asked as they entered the adjacent room in the basement then she watched as Victor began sealing the room with all kinds of talismans.

“A bathtub clearly!” Victor said as he finished then headed toward the already water-filled wooden bathtub. He took some strange herbs from his ring and began to dump them inside of it.

“What is it for? Weren’t you going to eat that pill?” Lily asked as she watched Victor work.

“The pill contains both, mine and your bloodline unlocking enzymes… If I ate it alone it would be a waste… I did promise to unlock your bloodline that day after all!” he said, not even looking at her.

“Ah….” she smiled.

“I will use another method. We will take a herbal bath and use it to absorb the pill together!” he said as he finished by dropping a few drops of soul wine. “This will also give us the added benefit of strengthening our bodies as the bloodline awakening is a chance to make our bodies forcibly absorb some materials that would take ages otherwise!”

“OH…. You already planned this didn’t you?” she asked. No wonder this tub was this big, it was meant for two! He probably planned this weeks ago!

“Yes… I knew that the stupid cock would not fall for my girl act… That thing has some amazing instincts for stupid things!” Victor said.

In his past life, the celestial rooster was summoned by mistake by a sect that got the celestial chicken feather and attempted to summon a phoenix as a last try to revive their sect.

This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

They got a perverted cock instead…

They were in a dilemma, as the cock started attacking their disciples. Especially the males who got their nuts crushed by its beak.

The rooster might appear weak, But it had some crazy defense. This was evident by its trying to pull the purple feather from its head and failing. This defense capability was probably the result of ages of evolution as competing cocks would always try to remove each others' feathers.

Anyway, the sect started trying to get rid of it to no avail. It was fast and cunning. That's when they found out that one of their ‘assaulted’ female disciples got enhanced bloodlines after mistakenly eating the pill the cock spat at her, they quickly investigated his powers and after confirming them, they devised a plan.

They began secretly collecting virgin female disciples with unique blood and presenting them to the cock who calmed down and began to live a life of debauchery.

The Firebird sect was on its way to the top.

Then, as always, someone leaked the news about the cock, and the sect was eliminated by a greater power.

This is a common occurrence after the reckoning.

Find treasure > Use it > Get destroyed and the treasure stolen.

Too Bad that by that time the cock’s summoning time was over. And the assailants couldn’t get their hands on it.

In the next few years, there were some rumors that some powers secretly summoning the rooster to enhance their offspring's bloodlines, but no one affirmed this as any news about the super rare celestial chicken feather that was required to summon the cock would be considered top secret information after its use was discovered.

Even the summoning ceremony itself was considered a secret and Victor would have not found out about it if he didn’t work at the royal library and was searching for a way to fix his bloodline.

“Will this really work?” Lily asked. Victor seemed hesitant a little.

“Theoretically, Yes…. No one tried this before…” He confessed. In fact, the method he is using to separate the bloodlines from the pill is a forbidden method that usually gets used to take away someone’s bloodline, but Victor reversed it… It was the same method used on him and his children in his past life. This method should enhance the pill's effect by 50% by incorporating other bloodline-enhancing herbs.

Finishing with the bath preparation and drawing the array on the bottom of the tub, Victor took off his clothes and then entered the bathtub before looking at Lily who blushed a little. She slowly began to take off her clothes, giving her young husband a stripping show to watch.

“Do it quickly! We don’t have all day… This young master has a fake diary to write afterward…” Victor scolded with blood dripping from his nose. If he looked at her anymore his blood would awaken damn it!

She chuckled as she stepped into the big wooden bathtub and relaxed sitting with crossed legs facing Victor. She knew better than to disturb him at such a delicate time.

The two of them were surrounded by many colorful golden and silver herbs floating. They looked like two chickens in a big pot getting ready to be boiled.

“What are you doing! You are sitting in the wrong direction…. Do you want your bloodline to be destroyed!” Victor scolded as he pulled the surprised girl into his embrace, making her sit in front of him with a deep blush.

“Now what?” she asked bashfully, feeling his body touch her. It felt hot!

“Now we upgrade our bloodlines… This might be painful!” he warned. “Just relax, the parts of this pill related to your own bloodline, would gravitate toward you by itself!” he said.

She nodded and watched as Victor took the pill and then threw it in the water on the opposing side of the tub.

The red pill quickly dissolved, turning the water into a red thick liquid that slowly began to heat up.

Slowly the bath water’s color began to clear as two colorful streams separated. One purple headed toward Victor and another gold headed toward Lily.

Then slowly the water began to boil and everything was cozy… That was until a moment later when what happened could be described with only one word.

PAINFUL!

It was like thousands of knives penetrated Victor's and Lily's bodies.

Victor expected it to be manageable, as he already experienced similar pain twice before, one was an hour ago when he used the pill he got from Hana and the other time was when that scion extracted his blood in his previous life… He couldn't have been more wrong!

He wanted to use his skills to disguise the pain as he did with Lara, but to his surprise, his powers were completely useless.

He could feel it as his skin began to break down and bleed, as every drop of blood in his body and every bone got broken down and the old ancestral genes that lay dormant for ages woke and began to fix.

It was an endless cycle of building and destruction.

NO…

Suddenly the destruction outpaced the rebuilding…

Something was wrong.

The absorption of the combination of the two bloodlines might have been a mistake.

This thing is too strong! He had miscalculated!

Victor quickly reached for his ring to take a healing pill…. It didn’t work… The ring stopped responding as Victor realized that all his mana was exhausted.

SHIT!

He could feel it as life left him. Lily who curled in his embrace was suffering the same. She almost lost consciousness as she closed her eyes and bit her cherry lip… In the end, she could only turn and hug Victor tightly, burying her head in his chest.

Victor’s mind was quickly turning… What should he do?

The bathtub had an exit mechanism, but if he stopped the ritual now both he and Lily might get their bloodlines totally destroyed, as they are in a very fragile state.

He hesitated as the pain became unmanageable. He was literally about to die.

No… He can’t let Lily die!

SHIT!

Even if he lost his bloodline now, he can’t let Lily die.

He reached for the secret lever to the side of the tub and then stopped.

From the depth of his heart, he felt some great Vitality energy suddenly appear. It spread all over his body, repairing the damage in seconds, not only that, it crossed him and entered Lily’s body.

It was the energy he got when Alpha merged that Vitality bead. It was so bountiful that a portion was sealed in his body using a drop of Sebastian’s blood back then. He avoided using it fearing that he would awaken his bloodline. That was until now.

He could feel Lily, who was biting his shoulder while hugging him, relax. She was getting healed too.

Was this because of their dragon marriage? Probably.

Both Victor and Lily could feel it as the unimaginable pain began to subside. It was still painful though.

In the tub, the water and the blood that seeped out of Victor’s and Lily’s exposed now damaged skin was literally boiling.

No, it was beyond boiling at the moment as a strange reaction seemed to have occurred, turning everything in the tub into a blob of Lava… Victor and Lily didn’t notice that, they just closed their eyes and focused on absorbing the liquid that was drilling into their bodies through every pore in their bodies.

The only thing that kept them sober was the feeling of each other's embrace… And that filled them both with the power to go on.

The process took forever, which in standard time meant two hours, during which Both Victor and Lily felt as if they died a thousand times.

If it were not for their amazing bloodlines and the life energy that Victor got, they might have died for real!

In the end, when the pain receded, they were no longer sitting, but laying and embracing each other in the bottom of the now empty tub in a room that was covered with soot. It was like the insides of an oven.

…

Victor slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lily who also opened her pretty eyes at the same moment and looked at him.

They gazed at each other.

Lily’s hair was no longer entirely black, but it had a few golden locks that looked messy around her pretty face that seemed to have become more charming.

Victor was the same. His deep purple hair now had a golden sheen to it. And he had grown more handsome.

“We did it…” he said as he slowly sat up with Lily. Both of them had deep smiles on their faces as they could feel a strange strength go through their bodies.

Victor quickly grabbed a certain book from his ring, he bit his finger and dropped some of his blood on it then smiled.

BLOODLINES:

EMPEROR DRAGON, SSS 100%

??? 15%

His bloodline had been upgraded first from an Elder dragon to a Noble dragon and now, it was an EMPEROR DRAGON. Victor had no idea whether this was a one or two steps upgrade. As EMPEROR DRAGON was an SSS rank while a noble dragon was just an S ranked one!

He also got that mysterious bloodline Lara got, it was at 15% now, but the book didn’t get it.

This huge upgrade may have had something to do with Lily’s bloodline that complemented his.

That’s why this shit was painful. It was a close call… He might have miscalculated a little, but he was not going to tell Lily that.

All that was left now was to awaken his bloodline and this was very easy with Lily around him… He just needed to be aroused enough!

He smiled pervertedly as he looked at Lily who was watching him closely.

He grabbed her hand, putting a drop of blood from her in the book. Like what he did with Lara, he had to use a wooden splinter to make a cut.

BLOODLINES:

ROYAL CROW, SSS 100%

SEA DRAGON, AAA 60%

She was able to upgrade from a Crowned Crow to a Royal Crow, an SSS-ranked bloodline. Maybe also a two-step upgrade because as far as he knew, the step after crowned crow was a crystal feather crow.

She also had a new Sea Dragon S Bloodline at 60%... This probably came from her stupid mother. It was probably sealed by some ancient method and was awakened after absorbing some of his noble dragon blood in the pill.

“Is it nice?” Lily asked curiously as Victor looked at the incomprehensible symbols in the book with so much intensity that she began feeling a little jealous, was this book prettier than her?

One had to note that they were both sitting naked in the tub.

Victor, who was looking super hot with his now muscular perfect body and purple flowing hair, was reading his book like a nerd instead of looking at her. This made her feel a little frustrated.

“It’s amazing!” he said as he turned to Lily wanting to tell her about what he found out, but he didn’t get a chance as she threw herself at him and kissed his lip.

“Let’s wait until we go up to our room…” he said after a few minutes when she let go of his lips. "This place is not suitable...."

“No… The other girls will definitely be waiting there….” she said. She was right. Lin, who finished with her bloodline, awakening was waiting in his bed while wrapping herself in red tape like a gift.

“At least let me take a shower…” he said as he looked at her then froze as he watched her staring at him. Earlier, he didn't observe her closely out of habit as he usually ignored her to keep his sanity, but now, with her whole body riding his, he couldn't ignore it anymore.

When did she become so beautiful?

“NO!” she said again as she pushed him down and sat on top of him. “I’ve waited for this long enough!” she finally snapped as she dived into her helpless husband's lips, her body embracing him with everything she got…. He could only embrace her back… He was waiting for this too long too!

It was time for them to consummate their marriage!
